- GardenMandy, on 06/05/2008, -0/+9I agree that blockbuster movies are a bit lackluster these days.
- fdiskit, on 06/05/2008, -1/+9Buried for being BusinessWire pure-PR-plant spam.
- dougvfr750, on 06/05/2008, -1/+9Hollywood needs to do something different. Most of the recent movies I've seen suck.
- RenderGod, on 06/05/2008, -1/+7Any company that says it's:
"From Los Angeles based full-service branding, advertising"
pretty much tells me that they will be your corporate whores and make your teenage movie. - arsenalplaya7, on 06/05/2008, -0/+5Mainstream/popular movies do. Though I'd argue the lesser known films (those that win awards, then become popular) are even beter than those in the past.
- nailer, on 06/05/2008, -1/+5Someone's gaming Digg. Does anyone seriously expect this press release to have legitimately made the front page?
- ee52ck, on 06/05/2008, -1/+5Is it just me or is the description of this story a bit overloaded and convoluted. I had to read it like three times!
Bring on the comments saying I cant read... - aladrin, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4"egoless creative entrepreneurs" - That's pretty much impossible. An ego is a -great- help in putting up with all the people who tell you that you can't do something. You need something to balance all that negativity.
And that blurb about Omelet at the bottom proves that even if the individual people have no ego, the company itself has enough ego for all of them put together. - craighoxton, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4This is not news - it's a damn PRESS RELEASE!
- relic180, on 06/05/2008, -1/+4If my post gets dugg up to +20 or more, I will drive down to LA and burn omelet's headquarters down.
- damnfunny1, on 06/05/2008, -0/+3Yeah movies have gone downhill not like they used to be.
- 1charmedlife, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3FAIL - Reuters isn't even doing news anymore huh, just posting a freakin' Press Release.
LAME. Plus, why in the hell would "new talents" want to compete for the "chance" to help someone else on their "visionary" short film? Who cares? Go make your own. This isn't "remaking" Hollywood, this is reinforcing the false scarcity of "talent" as defined by the current Hollywood power structure. - bentman78, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2you can't read :)
- inactive, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3mmmm omelet...
- Zipp425, on 06/05/2008, -1/+3They are just spending money on the wrong things. It seems like these days all the money is going to effects and big names and not the story and general depth
- noupsell, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2missed his joke completely - one sided... omelet... oh nevar mind
- mal1964, on 06/05/2008, -0/+2I'm sick of all these one sided Omelet stories.
- filmbandit, on 06/05/2008, -1/+2Complete a script/film using Vista and Pinnacle . . .
How about I use paper sack and a pencil instead? - relic180, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1You're right. The reason is because it's a promotional press release from the company itself, not an independent journalistic article. So it's full of 'loaded words' and 'marketing phrases'.
- relic180, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1They're one sided because they're promotional press releases. Omelet (or their PR firm) writes up these fluffy bs stories and sends them to news outlets. It's been done for eons.

http://happy2009christmas.com/ - relic180, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1We can make the best of it, by talking all kinds of ***** about how pompous and corporate omelet really is.
- filmbandit, on 06/05/2008, -1/+1"Winners will receive sweet prize packages . . ."
yes it will be a glandular teen romp - buywowgoldz, on 08/10/2008, -0/+0I had to read it like three times!
